حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ الْهَرَوِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السِّينَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ، فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ فَخَرَجَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، مَا أَخْرَجَكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَخْرَجَنِي وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ فِي بَطْنِي مِنْ حَاقِ الْجُوعِ، فَقَالَ: وَأَنَا وَاللهِ مَا أَخْرَجَنِي غَيْرُهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا كَذَلِكَ، إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ:
مَا أَخْرَجَكُمَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ ؟ فَقَالَا: أَخْرَجَنَا وَاللهِ مَا نَجِدُ فِي بُطُونِنَا مِنْ حَاقِ الْجُوعِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَنَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا أَخْرَجَنِي غَيْرُهُ، فَقَامُوا، فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا بَابَ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، وَكَانَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ ذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا أَوْ لَبَنًا، فَأَبْطَأَ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِ لِحِينِهِ، فَأَطْعَمَهُ أَهْلَهُ، وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى نَخْلِهِ يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا بَابَ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ خَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ، فَقَالَتْ: مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَأَيْنَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: يَأْتِيكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ السَّاعَةَ، فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَبَصُرَ بِهِ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ فِي نَخْلٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ يَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِنَبِيِّ اللهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَيْسَ بِالْحِينِ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَجِيئُنِي فِيهِ، فَرَدَّهُ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى عِذْقِ النَّخْلِ، فَقَطَعَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْ رُطَبِهِ، وَبُسْرِهِ، وَتَمْرِهِ، وَتَذْنُوبِهِ، وَلَأَذْبَحَنَّ لَكَ مَعَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: إِنْ ذَبَحْتَ، فَلَا تَذْبَحَنَّ ذَاتَ دَرٍّ، فَأَخَذَ عَنَاقًا لَهُ أَوْ جَدْيًا فَذَبَحَهُ، وَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: اخْتَبِزِي، وَأَطْبُخُ أَنَا، فَأَنْتِ أَعْلَمُ بِالْخَبْزِ، فَعَمَدَ إِلَى نِصْفِ الْجَدْيِ فَطَبَخَهُ وَشَوَى نِصْفَهُ، فَلَمَّا أُدْرِكَ بِالطَّعَامِ وُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَدْيِ، فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى رَغِيفٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ، أَبْلِغْ بِهَذَا فَاطِمَةَ؛ فَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تُصِبْ مِثْلَ هَذَا مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ، فَلَمَّا أَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: خُبْزٌ، وَلَحْمٌ، وَبُسْرٌ، وَتَمْرٌ، وَرُطَبٌ، وَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِذَا أَصَبْتُمْ مِثْلَ هَذَا، وَضَرَبْتُمْ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ، فَقُولُوا: بِاسْمِ اللهِ، وَبَرَكَةِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا شَبِعْتُمْ، فَقُولُوا: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَشْبَعَنَا وَأَرْوَانَا وَأَنْعَمَ وَأَفْضَلَ؛ فَإِنَّ هَذَا كَفَافٌ بِهَذَا، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مَعْرُوفًا إِلَّا أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُجَازِيَهُ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي أَيُّوبَ: ائْتِنَا غَدًا، فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ، أَعْطَاهُ وَلِيدَةً، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ، اسْتَوْصِ بِهَذِهِ خَيْرًا؛ فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَرَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا مَا دَامَتْ عِنْدَنَا، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ بِهَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: مَا أَجِدُ لِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَهَا، فَأَعْتَقَهَا. لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ إِلَّا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى.

✧ “What brought you two out at this hour?” They said, “By God, what brought us out was what we feel in our stomachs of the pangs of hunger.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing other than that brought me out.” So they stood up and set off until they came to the door of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Abu Ayyub had mentioned some food or milk to the Messenger of God ﷺ, but that day he was delayed and did not come at his usual time, so his family fed it [to others]. He went off to his palm trees to work among them. When they came to Abu Ayyub’s door, his wife came out and said, “Welcome to the Messenger of God ﷺ and those with him.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said to her, “Where is Abu Ayyub?” She said, “He will come to you, O Prophet of God, this hour.” The Messenger of God ﷺ turned back, and Abu Ayyub caught sight of him while he was working among some palm trees of his. He came hurrying until he caught up with the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, “Welcome to the Prophet of God and those with him.” He said, “O Messenger of God, this is not the time at which you used to come to me,” so he brought him back. He went to a cluster of palm trees and cut it. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him, “What did you intend by this?” He said, “O Messenger of God, I wanted you to eat from its fresh ripe dates, its unripe dates, its dried dates, and its low-hanging stalks, and I will certainly slaughter for you along with this.” He said, “If you slaughter, do not slaughter a milking animal.” So he took a young she-goat or a young he-goat of his and slaughtered it, and said to his wife, “Bake bread, and I will cook. You know better about baking.” He set about half of the kid and cooked it, and roasted half. When the food was ready, it was placed before the Messenger of God ﷺ and his companions. The Messenger of God ﷺ took some of the kid and placed it on a loaf, then said, “O Abu Ayyub, send this to Fatimah; she has not had the like of this for days.” When they ate and were full, the Prophet ﷺ said, “Bread, meat, unripe dates, dried dates, fresh ripe dates,” and his eyes filled with tears. Then he said, “This is part of the bliss about which you will be asked on the Day of Resurrection.” That weighed heavily upon his companions. The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “When you obtain the like of this and reach out with your hands, say, ‘In the name of God and by God’s blessing,’ and when you are full, say, ‘Praise be to God who filled us, quenched our thirst, bestowed favor, and excelled’; for this suffices for that.” The Messenger of God ﷺ would not have anyone do him a kindness without wanting to repay him, so he said to Abu Ayyub, “Come to us tomorrow.” He did not hear, so 'Umar said to him, “The Messenger of God ﷺ is telling you to come to him.” When he came to him, he gave him a young slave girl and said, “O Abu Ayyub, treat her well, for we have seen nothing but good as long as she was with us.” When Abu Ayyub brought her, he said, “I find nothing better for the testament of the Messenger of God ﷺ than to manumit her,” so he manumitted her. No one narrated it from 'Abd Allah b. Kaysan except al-Fadl b. Musa.
